Toy Report

Are you concerned about choosing the right toy for your child?
Unfortunately, the 2014 Toy Report was the last one compiled. Since many toys are the same year after year, you can still find useful information in the last one. Check out the 2014 Toy Report

I have been working as a speech-language pathologist for over 30 years now, mostly with children.
For 19 years, I worked in a clinical setting, with children who had various types of speech and language delays.
Since 2002, I switched to a community setting where we offer various activities and programs to parents and caregivers to guide them in helping their child progress in their language development.
Whether children have language delays or not, they still need guidance to learn everything they can about language and communication before their first day in school.
If you have questions about language development, keep an eye on this site for resources.
